Susan, You didn't mention what operating systems you were dealing with, but I had a similar situation with Unix and found the following to be quite effective:
1. tar the data into a single tar archive file 2. gzip the archive file (I got 6:1 compression ratio on top of the tar compression) 3. transfer the resulting smaller file via tape, ftp, telnet, or common network file system 4. gunzip the archive file on the destination machine 5. extract the tar archive Mike >Greetings, > >Anyone come up with a really clever way to move a great deal of data from >one machine to another (completely different Multivalue Platforms; jbase -> >Universe) all within the space of a weekend? > >We've tried some of the telnet programs that have multivalue specific file >transfers ... take too long.
